Hi everyone and welcome to my blog and theCHERISH THIS, MEMORIES FOR LIFE, DESIGN TEAM REVEAL FOR FEBRUARY. THIS CHALLENGE IS TO USE LACE/BORDERS OR WINTER/SNOW/ICE.
So I guess I used lace, borders, winter and snow!!!!http://cherishchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
Just click on the link above to take you to their blog.
Here is my Build A Page, but I lost all the light so just managed to get the background started!

1. Start by misting your background paper. Roll the paper around so that you get some dripping.

2. Add some dabs with a white dabber so that they look like snow balls.
3. Start adding the borders.
